Students in three different classes wrote the same Calculus exam. The exam was marked out of 100.
One class had 22 students in it. After writing the exam, their class average on the exam was reported as \(87\%\). The second class had 27 students in it. After writing the exam, their class average on the exam was reported as \(83\%\). The third class had 31 students in it. After writing the exam, their class average on the exam was reported as \(81\%\).
Three students, Alf, Bet, and Tildi, discussed their results. Alf obtained a mark one less than Bet and Tildi obtained a mark one more than Bet.
Upon reviewing their papers, Alf and Bet both discovered addition errors on their papers. Both of their marks increased to \(92\). Tildi discovered that one of her questions had not been marked. This review resulted in her mark increasing to \(92\) as well.
These changes resulted in the exam average for all of the students in the three classes combined changing to exactly \(84\%\).
What marks did Alf, Bet and Tildi originally have on their papers before the errors were corrected?
